And sure enough she looks my way..

After spending yet another year immersed in PC, Cubase and music I had enough material to fill my second CD which I called 'Fi Li'. I spent months just listening to the loop for 'Yr Un' until I finally started setting it up and work it out. I then went back to the other songs I had and got them ready to be burned to CD, the result can be heard bellow.

It was at this time (2004-05) that I discovered the magic of HTTP - Hyper text and started learning its mysterious ways. As I was also getting into Vice City moding and my old Pentium II couldn't deal with it I bought a new computer. I'd backed up all the stuff that went into making the CD and spent the next year and a half walking the way of the web designer, up to my eye balls in W3C, divs, text editors and tables. In my spare time (???) I still worked on some songs, made new jingles and re-installed the old songs into the new system, getting RMF and Phatmatik to find the samples again and getting Cubase to ignore uninstalled plugins. And then one Sunday night while formatting C: in DOS I inadvertently formatted D:, all my samples and my Cubase files. AAAaaaaaaaagain!!!!

An IT beginners tip; DOS doesn't see NTFS so FDISK calls D:, C:, (Buy a Mac).

So I'd lost yet another lot but luckily this time around it wasn't so much.In any case here is that compilation of tracks I call 'Fi Li' :

If you don't use Java Script or just cant access the list above here they are again accompanied by their lyrics where applicable ;

• Afon Fyspryd

A long song made if I remember correctly on an all-nighter

• Curion Amsar

Some drum loops a bit of midi and lashing of Fruity Loops, with thanks to Suzanne for listening in

• Da Alien

A lot of drum and effect samples just waiting for the alien to come

• Gafal yn yr afal

A song composed of cartoon and Goon samples (I just love the Goons), and is meant to be funny

• If I were...

An attempt at seriously trying to put a lyric to a loop, the timing and levels are not perfect I know but an attempt just the same

• I am an ifal

The rhythm is the vocal put through a vocoder and again stems from an ironed out loop

• Man on the radio

This is an instrumental with one vague vocal sample in the background, it is inspired by a lyric that I have but which still needs to be worked into this song or into a new composition

• o gam i gam

Again an instrumental cooked up with the same old recipe of drum loop, samples and midi in Cubase with a bit of Fruity on the side

• Olwyn Drodd

Big wheels keep on turning or is it simply the old spinning wheel doing its thing. This lyric was inspired by a girl who'd walk past my kitchen window every morning going to work, then one day she just turned her head and looked at me looking at her as she walked past, it was bizarre.

• Yr Un

I sat and listened to the original loop for months trying to figure out which way it had to go. The Matrix, what an absolutely owe inspiring trilogy. I have more samples and ideas to realize this way

The media player is something I found on-line called 'the Dark Player', you can figure it out of the source if you like it. I have managed to get two working on one page, which you should be able to find somewhere within my 'Shared Shop' pages. And I got the 'Pause' button to actually pause.

I must thank DJ Jon for his drum loop samples, I used to absolutely love the dude at the IT years ago.
